RegA regulon genA genD Operon Regulon: Operons with related metabolic function that share a common regulator
cbb operon cbbR CbbR is a LysR-type regulator Protein family: group of proteins sharing sequence similarity common evolutionary origin have common function (often not always!) e.g, transcriptional regulator
‘lay-out’ of LysR type protein NH2 COOH DNA binding domain Effector binding domain Multimerisation domain LysR type regulator • Transcriptional activators (and repressors) • second most abundant group of regulators, occur in all bacteria • Control wide range of functions, ie virulence, antibiotic production etc • almost 200 proteins known • Molecular mass usually around 36 kDa Note: every LysR-type regulator binds to different DNA sequence and recognises different ligand
kDa 175 83 62 48 33 Denaturing conditions: 36 kDa 25 Non denaturing condtions: 79 kDa CbbR is a dimer in solution 17 7 Expression and purification of CbbR Strong promoter cbbR

Label the end of one DNA strand Incubate with protein Digest DNA at random with DNaseI Analysis of DNA-Protein interaction Footprinting Trick: Dnase I will digest anywhere, but NOT where protein is bound. This is protected!!
Denature DNA, and load on gel DNA DNA+protein Protected region: footprint DNA:DnaseI ratio such that every DNA molecule is only digested once
